OpenAI's 'GPT_Plays_Pokemon' livestream, featuring GPT-5 playing Pokemon, has begun



OpenAI announced '

GPT-5 ' on August 8, 2025 (Japan time). A challenge has begun to play ' Pokémon Red ' using this GPT-5.




GPT-5 is an AI model that combines a high-speed response model and a complex inference model, and can process not only text but also images and videos. More details about GPT-5 are summarized in the following article.

Playing the Pokémon series involves exploring the map, choosing moves based on compatibility with rivals, and catching and naming wild Pokémon. By having the AI play the Pokémon series, we can determine whether it has a certain level of ability.

You can watch the live stream of GPT-5 playing Pokémon Red at the link below.

The streaming screen looks like this: GPT-5's inference results are displayed on the left side of the screen, the map and Pokemon in hand are displayed in the center, and the goal and items in hand are displayed on the right side.



At the time of writing, the Pokémon I had were Charmander, Rattata, and Pidgey.



If you look at the inferences made by GPT-5, you can see that it is checking its current location and considering which button to press to reach its destination.



It is possible to fight, but the gameplay progresses quite slowly, so it will take a tremendous amount of time to complete.



Other AI models have also been tested in the Pokémon series, and when Claude 3.7 Sonnet was announced on February 25, 2025, it was revealed that he had defeated three gym leaders in Pokémon Red. Later, a live stream was also held in which volunteers actually played Pokémon Red with Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
